My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Nicole, with a knowing smile, remarked, "In business, there are always winners and losers." Lawrence, with a casual shrug, responded, "If that's the case, then yes, I've lost this round." "But you didn't have me brought here just to say you're giving up, right?" Nicole questioned, noticing Lawrence's tendency to beat around the bush.

"Absolutely not," he replied, shaking his head.

"Since I've lost, I need to make some moves to even things out." Nicole nodded, understanding.

"Alright, then.

"You know what I want," he said, looking directly at Nicole.

"If it's the Fire Crest and Water Crest you're after, that’s going to be tough.

I'm not exactly planning on dying anytime soon." Nicole knew that without her death, the Crests wouldn't transfer ownership.

Lawrence simply looked at her, his silence making his intentions unclear.

Nicole maintained her composure, facing Lawrence with a calm anticipation, ready for whatever he might propose next.
